wants fair competition. so what do you think that the u. s. actually wants when it comes to beijing? i think what the u. s. want is something decidedly different than what joe biden once, because everything he's done since he came into office was cater to bow down and give china even more and more power and reduce america's power, influence and significance in the world. whether it's the way he called troops out of afghanistan, whether it's the debacle of over $100000000000.00 being sent to you. craig, with no accountability, whether it's letting a 5 trips across america for 8 days before the the president finally has shot down efforts gathered all the intelligence wanted to gather and then try to show lots of blustered at night. how he hung talking and stood up to the president . she and nobody wants to be president. she right now they are pointed out what the heck with he's talking about versus you kind of look at the speech. he kind of reins from mumbling, speaking softly, yelling, and completely unintelligible, comments. so i guess the fact that we don't know what he was talking about when he was referr

u. s. he did what the u. s. wanted this will you also said clearly and yes, if it were not negotiations between russia and ukraine, but with, let's say the west in the, in the next door. and the west didn't want to end this war because the west was we can rush and therefore they need this a fighting in ukraine. there were no serious intention from the west for any peace negotiations since the start of the warrant on less than 2014. we note from the risk agreement and that this was just in attempt to buy time for ukraine as melton onset and boss johnson. i called to minsk agreement and mutation of to boot diplomacy and we'll see the same now after this collision of the conflict nearly one year ago when the rest. by the words of bennet, are stopped or ukraine from negotiate negotiating anything with russia. when on the latest developments on the ukraine conflicts, i think russian defense ministry has released a statement warning of a possible ukranian folk flag operation, which involves a plot to blow up medical faciliti

u. s. they want intact trade relations with the u. s. et cetera. and they want to de escalate things. but on the other hand, the rhetoric here from beijing is, you know, very strong, it's very confrontational, i would say. and it doesn't really, you know, facilitate things when you want to have constructive talks for a future visit by blinking, mixed messages coming there. how would you describe relations between the us and china right now by the where the bigger picture is set and they are at a record low and a since probably several decades. but recently there was actually a good vendor of opportunity. both sides had some modest hopes of a diplomatic reset, but now this is completely shattered by this spy balloon incident that has poisoned atmosphere. and there's also another diplomatic threat other, or kevin mccarthy versus speaker of the u. s. her house of representatives has already voice expressed to a visit tavern in the future. and of course, we know how tight are china will respect, respond probably very drastically and or so probably for the next months it doesn't really loo

u. s. want to invest heavily in wind and solar energy, partly for climate protection reasons. in the u. s. have recently passed law earmarked almost $370000000000.00 for climate and energy security measures. the e u and other countries are also came to invest in renewable energy. so says the i e. a forecasts that by 2025 renewables would have become the largest source of global electricity generation ahead of cold. but there's some way to go. there is still more than 2400 coal fired power plants in operation worldwide with new ones being built. that's a huge burden of both for the climate and those living nearby. south africa's economy is powered by coal, but critic site. this comes out of massive cost defenses day evolution is akila and therefore government needs to and then we need to add their gently. my hat is bleeding for the people who are living in this area and they are getting poor every day. 80 percent of the country's energy is produced by 12 coal fired power stations. in the south african cold belt. in 2019 greenpeace declared the area to be one of the most polluted

u. s. wanted was brought in to help create an intelligence organization that would assist the special commission and evaluating the accuracy of the iraqi declarations about what weapons of mass destruction they had. you see, i thought that the mission of the special commission was to disarm i. rec, and, and we worked in a very assiduous manner to carry out that mission. but it turned out that the disarmament of iraq was the last thing the united states wanted. the united states was going to go to war with iraq, regardless. regardless, it doesn't matter what the truth was. so i addressed the iraqi parliament. they gave a speech that wasn't pre screened. and as a speech to said, if you don't let weapons inspectors back in your country will be destroyed, you have to let them back in without any pre conditions said, something's going to let weapons inspectors back in. i want, i succeeded. and so when i came out is the exact opposite, feels like inspectors are going to be la back. and i said, yes, you

u. s. wants to make europe compliant under its roots. now, the europeans wondering let it benefits us and them. so nearly everything that comes from the u. s. against the people in europe, it's against the economy in europe because america now wants to psycho europe for its own benefit. and they want to make sure that germany, especially, but europe economy is under the thumb of the us and they cannot survive on their own. so the europeans are now, or some, or europeans are now recognizing that this is the case and that they did really bad behavior against the european economies. you don't do this because of the environment you do this because of he cannot make dependence is this is the war of the us against europe, against germany, especially according to say, my hearse. the us who are behind the blow up of the na stream to pipeline to make it exclusively that only the u. s. and norway can deliver gas. us is getting rid of a competitor with the help of their puppets in the european commission. chinese in has described us quote, a blatan

u. s. s. space china has enough satellites already in china wants to do any surveillance. why? surely use the pollutants which are so big and so obvious. now, i don't think this connection makes any sense. so let's see. i mean, we're all have to watch and see. but whatever the case, i think the wisdom of both countries, leaders and i've all depressed and now protest test. ah, it's been 20 years since the us invasion of iraq. and here at r t, we continue special coverage of the anniversary, examining the devastation and the stabilisation, the war cause throughout the middle east. at this hour, american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free its people. and to defend the world from great danger, who's with food and sleep with that today also marked 20 years since then u. s. secretary of state pushed military action in iraq at the un security council . an episode well known by his display of a vial in an attempt to display allegations of the existence of weapons of mass destructions and iraq, that claim later proved to be false.

u. s. wants to see china take a bigger role. so it appears that with all of that on the table, this incident might have been seen as 2 significant for antony blanket to go ahead with this trip. again, these are initial reports and we have to wait to hear confirmation from the state department or the white house, or both aqua bonnet sooner, so must go under their reporting from washington. thank you so me. the award winning iranian so make a jaffar panata as begun. the hunger strike for now he was jailed last july after protested the arrest of 2 fellow filmmakers were demanding the government end. it's violent cracked down on the mos protests. for now, he is currently being held at the country's notorious event prison, which houses political prisoners in a statement released by his wife tonight. he said he was protesting the quote, illegal and inhumane behavior through judicial and security apparatus. i'm 2 of them. so one of iran's most acclaimed and outspoken filmmakers jaffar pano, he used to be a regular on the international

u. s. has made it quite clear. there are limits to support for ukraine in this sense, only that they do not want any tax on russia. i don't think russia is in a corner. i don't think the u. s. has pushed too far, i think that this is actually a, basically a unifying western response to a war, russian invasion of ukraine, which is a violation of international law. but if i could go back to, i believe, demetrius point, i think that it's a key moment for start architecture, for a number of reasons. number one is the fact that theoretically, i don't think that will happen. but theoretically, both sides could deploy and develop more strategic nuclear weapons. however, as dmitri shad, the chinese, in particular, appear to be building up their nuclear forces. the start training does not take that into account at all. so any revise training probably would be best served by having the chinese as participants so far they're not that interested. the 2nd phenomenon would be the development of new weapon systems. the ability of conventional weapons to inflict massive destruction is higher than ever before. their space weapons,

u. s. want sell them in addition to that, they need access to european markets and they want for direct an investment from europeans. and there's also the issue of captured elite we seen in europe. certain industries like perhaps the car industry will benefit by having investments go to china. we saw immediately after the i have concerns. we are saying china has concerns of a c o meeting. chancellor shields got on a plane brought leaders of rush of german industry with them to beijing to make deals. and so i think that there are a lot of moving pieces to all of this. and let's remember russia is a storm by china is really climate changes as one way put it. yeah, very good way to put it, theresa valley with the center for russia, europe, asia studies. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. now to berlin's international gym festival, the berlin knowledge day was the world premier of $20000.00 species of bees. it tells the story of an 8 year old child who explores

u. s. wanted him to do. so those were really the clash. ready between the 2, i mean, clearly we invite antonia good terrace on who isn't african, or arab and will no doubt say, you know, what? pressures are there right now? you don't mention, i don't think the direct wiki, leak snowden allegations or revelations that the un secretary general coffee and then his successor, boutros boutros college success, was bug by the see, i am i 6, i don't know whether you found in your research where the boutros boutros galleys office was bugged. but that you, do you do say that boutros boutros golly, or a religious man? you know, way. i don't want to say something on your point. boutros was religion growth, of course, what they call christian, which is that minority in egypt. and he wasn't, he didn't say himself, i was really particularly religious. and he was, he of course, went to church as a child and have some believe well, as he grew older, you seem to be more of an astro cost of tradition. what he did on the quote from the bible, and he did at le

u. s. want to replace rushes position when it comes to india is arms import so badly and will it succeed? very good question. it repeats itself. and then i think the west pakistan and forsake india. dad know what do find the bread for itself in that gold wall we never wanted for for we were totally dependent on right. and we came back and we won the 1971 for a then that is a democratic country and it says as of its own russia, soviet union then it's, it's repeating itself. but this time it deals on the rise and you just discuss the next 3 countries which have controlled the world. united states. europe do not want to lose control. china has come up. it's almost like a. we're buy from united states of america because it shoots us, but we still are dependent on you get that rate grad about strategic programs. but even today, united states will not share with us. so i think any common military bad understands what i'm saying is, is repeating itself videos on the right. we have a we have a nation co

u. s. wants the rest of the world to follow, but in which russia and china also have a faith. and this strategic obligation of that us is involved in the district to china, on one hand in the district, russia, and does not serve the others because it, all the things that us is doing to modernize its forces. both nuclear and conventional you are, you must have seen the nuclear posture reviews that have come out in 20182022 are escalate dory and offensive in nature. it's all they talk about making smaller, usable, new laws yield in nature, which means that back is the use of l. so the world is changing due to us distraction with more emerging technologies and more set of new re added onto it. but no arms controls talk happening any there. so if there's a dangerous time for all of us to think about it, it's too busy going, you know, digital age and hypersonic age in the age of a guy is going to be sustainable and coming to the diligence and you'd like to respond to that. and also the real point of view is the well, that a less safe place right now. i believe, yes, the world is a

u. s. government wanted to do my secrets, my sources for postings. when i was living in the u. s, the even rated by home and i had to flee here to russia. and i know the misconception is that i'm pro russian, but i'm really, i'm pro truth wherever that truth happens to lead me. and just so happens, and in this case, you know, the truth is beneficial to the russian government for sure. all right, so we know we pretty much know what's going on. we know that the us and no way for happens with the collaboration of that, the u. k as well. got involved and blow up these pipelines. what do you think russia should deal could do? i mean, otherwise, i mean, we hear ok. see we, we, you know, we push the truth, but can the russian government really do anything about this really look. does a lot actually the russian government could do, they could engage in all sorts of subterfuge warfare against civilian infrastructure in the united states. but the question is, is it the right thing to do? the world understands that this is not a, an act done by russia. they understand now that this is an a

u. s. aerospace and want him to do so now because they also believe that the u. s. could gain some information on chinese intelligence by taking this balloon down. so again, the pressure to do something is rising, but no decision has been made on that yet. the w correspondence and we sum us kinda in washington. thank you. leaders of a european union have stopped short of granting ukraine a fast track to membership and the block at a summit with the you leaders and keep ukraine's president bullet. amir zalinski repeated his appeal to speed things up. he's an ukraine deserved to begin negotiations on joining the block. this very year. european officials bound to provide enduring support to ukraine, but that there were no shortcuts to eat membership. this history making summits offered up a flurry of announcements amidst the wintry conditions in keith. it was also a chance for the ease top officials to demonstrate the growing ties between ukraine and the european union. the future of ukraine is within the european union, lucrative people. you have made a clear choice f

u. s. president donald trump. he wants to return to the white house in next year's election, has slumped. washington. what he claimed was the support of the 2014 might untrue in ukraine. trump is again calling for shake up in the american government to get rid of people. he says, are pushing for world war 3. for decades, we've had the very same people, such as victoria newland, and many others just like are obsessed with pushing ukraine toward nato. not to mention the state department support for uprisings in ukraine. these people have been seeking confrontation for a long time, much like the case interact and other parts of the world. and now we're teetering on the brink of world war 33 ality is it is exactly what a lot of americans are saying and wanting to hear. and the response to the obvious response in people's frustration here at the united states at the accountable billions that continue to go over there. meanwhile, we're dealing with a real crisis here in the united states. the fact that the president of the unite

there are reports that the president wanted that balloon down as early as wednesday, but was advised by the pentagon to wait. the u. s military wanting to wait a few extra days to make sure that it didn't hurt anyone on the ground. the balloon had floated from china across the bering sea over alaska, canada and into the u. s on tuesday at one point near a us airbase in montana that based one of three homes to us intercontinental ballistic missiles. retired marine corporate lieutenant colonel corporal corporal lieutenant colonel. we spoke to weighing in on the balloon's path. senior defense officials as and that corporal lieutenant saying that essentially, it was pretty extreme path over a number of military sites, senior defense officials saying there continued to pick up debris from the balloon in u. s territorial waters that debris field now scattered over several miles of atlantic ocean and in waters that are now 47 ft. deep. all of this happening ahead of a planned visit to china by secretary of state anthony blinken. they've been viewed as a high stakes trip aimed at easing tensions. that trip now postponed back

u. s. government that wants to know how other countries are trying to gather u. s. secrets. so this is a matter that has become an international diplomatic go into it. it also is raising a questions among though politicians not just on capital hill, but in those states across the country that have ha, seen this craft a fly over their territory. and there are questions mill, on the bite administration, about how much information it's going to be sharing and how much it's going to keep the u. s. public aware of how it's dealing with what it says is a clear violation of us. so territorial control was jordan has joining us with their latest and reaction to that story from washington. dc was thank you very much . while the balloon was 1st seen over the aleutian islands, that's in alaska, u. s. and canadian officials say that they saw it when it flew through canada and then back into the u. s. air space where it was seen again this time over billings in montana as surveillance, but it's usually operate in an altitude of anywhere from 24000 meters to 37000 meters that higher than c

things that we fear that that's why so many people want to flee to the u. s. okay, because they're hoping for a good income education, a nice home and money to send home to their family, la garza were among the li, narrow. so for me, larry, the yeah, the organization hopes to offer teens an alternative to the pandas, the teenage gangs, they work to instill values like education, confidence, and non violence. i finance see, well, i'm convinced that it's worth it. that's what recessed and just look at the smiling faces and the dreams they hated it, though as the different viewpoint, addison, some info to cook, to see what all of that in a place where i never know if i'll make it back alive. when i step outside, see yeah, maricel from dorothy. well, it's good for them. if we didn't, even if we speak different languages, we're basically all the same. we are human beings that many of us have no prospect . all we want is a chance, you know, a lot of the very back to her fine. he's enjoying his evening at home with his wife and 5 daughters. but his oldest daughter is

u. s. allies wanting an invasion that left a trail. destruction in the country, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians. there is a special coverage of u. s. war of sarah in iraq. 20 is on at this hour. american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq, to free it's people. and to defend the world from great a we with with it took just a one month for the us. i'm as allies saw, couldn't all campaign to take control of baghdad. however, u. s. troops only a fishy withdrew in 2011. over the v is countless families were left shasta young people's aspirations. the future were left in ruins or the brutal us led invasion. oh, i was a teenager in the tardy area. there was an army training camp and weapons depots and the sites was subjected to heavy bombardment by merican forces. we were teenagers and we were playing football not caring about the shelling a sometimes we would have to hide one date, there was a huge explosion. we did not know that a bomb had fallen on us. 3 children were lying dead, mammy, and i remember that the person who was holding the b

u. s. president wanted to van the software a, an agency within the u. s. treasury department known as sophia's has been trying to figure out how to awhile tick, talk to continue to operate inside the united states. at one point there was a talk about giving it a very specific operating rules as long as it basically separate it from it's a owner bite, dance and set up a purely us based operation system with in, with very strict firewall. so that data collected here in the united states could not be shared with byte dance, which is based in china. but so far that has not been worked out. negotiations are still under way. and both republicans and democrats on capitol hill are very concerned that the longer this goes on, the more vulnerable u. s. users will be to any efforts to take their personal data. now the aging has accused the us of snaring china by v igniting the debate and the origin of the corona virus. the u. s. department of energy says it's likely the vice leaked from a nap and who han it comes as health experts around the world raise questions a

u. s. government wanted to do my secrets, my sources for postings. when i was living in the u. s, they even rated my home and i had to flee here to russia. and i know the misconception is that i'm pro russian, but i'm really, i'm pro truth. what the united states did is, is a war crime. not only that a war crime, but this one of the worst ecological disasters ever created by man. it's basically a terrorist deck they, they say that they don't want to escalate this war, but they're doing all the stuff in secret to escalate this war. and then they're blaming russia for it's, it's absurd and they got caught. yet again, is it fair to say that a lot of americans don't really know what's going on and the taxpayer is that the tax dollars and how it is being spent? and let me, there's a certain aspect of people that do know, but this is leigh sites. a lot of people's livelihoods in america. do you think they could change to the future? i think they are slowly changing because people now are realizing slowly as information is trickling out, that everything that they've been told by the am

u. s. doesn't want to see them cent. and, and see them perform badly and destroyed on the battlefield. the pentagon's making certain information on u. s. involvement in ukraine. public. several defense officials have testified in the 1st open hearing on oversight of u. s. military equipment to ukraine. officials claim they're keeping a close eye on the money sent to keith, while also admitting the conflict had lost another 3 years. i think we have had a lot of oversight on this effort from the very beginning right now. and i've asked this question. we are getting every single weapon system that we can to ukraine. there is not a decision being made about. and that might be escal atory. can you tell us roughly how much money has been given total to the ukraine war effort since we began last year? well, it depends a little bit how you count it, but i believe it's over a 113000000000 approximately. i think the point from our matter of u. s. policy is that, that the importance of getting after corruption in ukraine or anywhere else is at the top of of our point of emphasis with ukranian lead

u. s. s. space china has enough satellites already in china, wants to do any surveillance. why should they use the balloons, which are so big and so obvious? no, i don't think this connection makes any sense. so let's see. i mean, we're all have to watch and see. but whatever the case, i think the wisdom of both countries, leaders and i've all depressed and now pottis' test. we're now to the latest from dumbass where one person has been killed and another wounded. that's after residential areas in the russian city. i don't. yes. was shelled by ukraine, according to local authority, up to 4 people could be trapped under the rubble of a collapse department where a rescue operation is now on the way on that room on concert reports from the same ukrainian nationalists to use them multiple launch a raucous system against civilians in the center of the next at least 11 apartment buildings that were damaged as a result, one of them is right behind me. right now, emergency a workers are trying to dig through the rubble of the users or one of them with i live in this building. on th

u. s. the u. s. from beginning want escalation of the conflict because it fits them on your caller strategies and that's your strategy. ready so we have different costs and baseline. well, want different things. and mr. stalls back is clearly the men are watching inside of the nature of the confusing messages, though on often especially when stolen, beg is say, now that the, the war was no surprise. nay. so when they, you know, before he was there, the airlines was so shocked that you know, this was happening as i didn't have an angle here. why are they going from was so shocked to company. this is happening to we knew this would happen all along. so i think it's the kind of that shows that it was simple. christy from, from beginning long there was actors inside of the natal and especially in the u. s . and some nationalists and trans, up laughing topline us in the european central countries wanted to escalate the conflicts will never wanted peace. there was other hector's inside of that conglomeration of natal states as well. wanted to bring for the maybe the prospect people piece or maybe the prospect

u. s. government new cold war on china and russia, and he wants to have good relations with everyone. so yes, i'm not expecting lewis. so let's be like we were chavez. he's not going to talk about how the u. s. leader is, is the devil, and he's not going to break relations the u. s. but he is going to do what's in brazil's best interest, not what's in washington's best interests, which means he's going to deepen relations with china, with russia, with iran, with india, with pakistan, and with many countries around the world. and he's going to try to turn latin america into a regional block that is united and can have it can fight for its own interests in this multi polar world on the international stage. lula already promised before he won the election, he said that he wants to create a new currency for latin america. so the region is not dependent on the u. s. dollar. he wants the region to do more trade among itself and also with other countries in the global south following the model of south south. while peroration so lula, he has always had very good relations with china and russi
